There is an Elmo cookie cutter in this set; I didn't make him. When kiddo was little and I tried to force him to watch Sesame Street ("You'll love it; I promise!"), he would cry whenever Elmo's friend Mr. Noodle and Mr. Noodle's brother would come on the screen.

I would have substituted the Elmo cookie cutter for Grover. Or Count. Or Bert. Or Big Bird. (I'm old.) Speaking of Grover, please tell me you have this bookfor your kids. To this day, it is one of my favorites.

Back to the cookies...the cutters are designed to make an imprint of the design, which is so helpful when making characters. They're also made to give you the option of making sandwich cookies, just press the imprinting part all the way down and it will cut out the mouth area. Decorating instructions are included with the set.

***Keep in mind, if you are making these for a party, you might want to stick with 1 or 2 characters. For these 3 guys, I needed to make 10 different icing colors.***

The cookies here are a new recipe. Are you ready?
They're CHOCOLATE HAZELNUT CUT-OUTS. As in, Nutella Cut-Outs.
You can find the recipe here, in the book!!!

{How's that for a teaser? ;)}
Since the cookies are a deep, dark brown, there was no need to use black icing to fill in the mouths on Cookie Monster or Oscar.

And how fun are Oscar's eyebrows? That's just piping consistency icing "fluffed" up with a toothpick.

How'd you like a set of these for your own? It seems only appropriate for the week of Jim Henson's birthday. ♥ Kiddo is convinced that "only people with little kids" will enter. I had to remind him that his 42-year-old mother made a special trip to the mall just to purchase these...for HERSELF. ;)

1. You did a fabulous job on the characters2. Mr Noodle creeps me out3. The Monster at the End of this Book is one of my 2 year old's favorites. But what he REALLY loves is the iPad version. It's amazing!

Awesome cookies! Thanks for the giveaway! We have that book and it's companion "Another Monstervat the End of This Book". Great reads! I think there's a tie between Ocsar & Wormy and the Count...ah-ah-ah :D

OH, I wish these had been around when I did the sesame street party for my son. And yes, we have several copies of that book, one that was mine, one that was my husbands, and one that was given to our first child :)

You just brought me back to my childhood!! I LOVED that book! I was a 1969 Sesame Street baby too and will still watch it to this day!! My daughter LOVED Sesame Street, my son, not so much :( THANK YOU for reminding me of that book! ivmall@msn.com

I am only a year older than you. Would you believe I still have my Sesame Street LP (as in record) from about 1972/1973? I saw these cutters at William-Sonoma and was tempted to buy them. Maybe I can win them instead!

My favorite Sesame Street character would have to be Cookie Monster, because I love me some cookies too! Thank you for letting us just be able to leave a comment to enter - I am so not with all the other techy things. Except for Pinterest.

As a kid, I loved Snuffy more than anything in this world (literally - it had to have been those luscious lashes ;) but these days the Count makes me laugh the most, thinking back on Sesame Street. They're both winners!

My little girl never got into Sesame Street. I would try and try and tell her "I PROMISE you'll like it!" She's two now and I feel like I'm forcing her at this point. But she loves Elmo and Abby Cadabby! She just doesn't want to see them on the television. Weird...but I wonder how she feels about the cookie versions?! I can't wait to make her these!

Maybe there is a name/diagnosis for fear of certain Sesame Street characters? My daughter (now 27) would absolutely freaked out when Placido Flamingo would come on - so badly that while at the neighbors whom I had forgot to mention this little "issue" to, she caught a glimpse of him and went into a raging breakdown - the neighbor called in a panic - I knew immediately.... "Turn the TV off - QUICK" We laughed forever....she, however, would not find this at all entertaining. Well, to my previous question - the fear of Sesame Street Character(s)? How about talking&lifelikefakefur&fleecephobia - muppetphobia was just to accusatory.

The cookies are fantastic! As usual, you've outdone yourself! Have a blessed day!

These are a masterpiece! Or rather, a "monsterpiece"! Monsterpiece Theater is one of my favorite Sesame Street skits. I don't have any kiddos but I'd still love to have a set of these cookie cutters. I grew up watching Sesame Street every day! :)

I just had to add that I LOVE The Monster at the End of this Book! It was a favorite book growing up. I have also introduced it to many young children over the years who loved it as well. It's so cute! And so much fun to read with the 2-4 year old crowd who really believe they are foiling Grover's plans. :-)

First words when this popped in my newsfeed...."Oh My Goodness" Those cookies are AHMAZING! :) My daughter Loves sesame st and it's really cute when she figures out how to say their names. Her favorite is Count Von Count.

I had to smile at this. I was born in 66 and grew up with them. My mom didn't keep much of our stuff from childhood, but when I visited her last year, she showed me my Sesame Street Record albulm. The kiddies didn't know records, so that alone was a treat! I can't believe I remembered "I love trash", and Bert and Ernie's pigeon song. Oh my...The laughter we shared. These look amazing!

I, too, forced my kids to watch Sesame Street and they HATED IT! I think it's a generational thing. Growing up in a small South Texas town circa 1972, Sesame Street seemed so exotic - a corner store, African Americans, big city parks! I especially loved the scenes in the parks because our "parks" were our backyard and cotton fields. Do you remember the Pinball song that counted to 12? I still get that one stuck in my head.

Cookie Monster and Elmo would be the easiest to start with. :) If you do Ernie or Oscar, I'd pick one...it starts getting confusing when you have 17 colors, some thinned,, some not, spread all over your kitchen counter.

I LOVE The Monster at the End of This Book! I have my kids hooked on it, too. ;) The one with Elmo joining in isn't bad, but it's just not as good as the original. We just read it last night with my 5 year old.

How cute are these Cookie Monsters! And I'm loving Oscar's bushy eyebrows!Can't wait to try out the Chocolate Nutella Roll Out Cookies! You do know I've never tasted Nutella!I like to throw that in to SHOCK you every now and then!Can't wait to get home to my book and love on it and browse through the pages!Congrats Sweetie!These cookies honestly almost jump out of the computer and dance and sing they're so colorful and happy!xoxo

So cute, can't wait to try these my daughter loves elmo and zoe, I am thinking it wouldn't be to hard to turn elmo into zoe. I received my copy of your book today, it's amazing! My next project are mario bros. cookies for my nephews bday.

These are so cute, and sound delish! I was a MASSIVE Sesame Street fan when I was little. My favorite character then was Big Bird, but my favorite character now is Grover...especially when he is SUPER GROVER!

I have always loved Grover and Snuffy. I have always adored Sesame Street to begin with. To top it off though, my friend is going to be in the cast of Sesame Street Live and is Zoe! :) So I'll definitely be getting my fill of Sesame Street. Of course, who could dislike Cookie Monster when you are making COOKIES? Hehe :) I would so love a set of these cutters. YUM and CUTE! I would make these for just me let alone friends children or family.

That is still my favorite book and I'm 37 :-) I repeatedly buy it as a baby shower gift so, of course, Grover and his alter-ego Super Grover are my favorites. I did have an awesome Oscar the Grouch alarm clock though that woke you up to "Wake Up! It's gonna be another grouchy day!" Love the cookies!

I am also in my 40's and I adore Sesame Street, and yes, I still have the Monster at the End of this Book. I read it to my son and daughter when they were little and now I have 5 grandchildren who love it! :)

I actually work at Williams-Sonoma, and made these cookies to display in the store. I found it easier to make only 2 characters at a time, to cut down on the number of frostings I have to use. Another trick, especially useful for kids, is to tint the cookie dough the color of the character, so all you have to decorate is the eyes and mouth.

Love the cookies (always do)...would love to enter but alas, I live in Canada *sigh* Sesame Street was my favorite show as a little girl and my kids just didnt get into it (so sad). BUT my daughter does have "the monster at the end of this book" and it was one of her favorites, so that helps :o)

Love these! Before I had my kiddo, I hoped he would never get into Elmo or Barney (thankfully we have steered clear of Barney) but Elmo is his fav...luckily Elmo has grown on me. My first car was a light blue Hyundai Sonata...so I named him Grover and had a "GROVR" license plate. Growing up I think Big Bird and Snuffy were my favorites...and Barkley, does anyone remember Barkley??

I've always loved CoooooKeeeee. He's still my favorite. I hope he doesn't turn orange from eating carrots. I "kidnap " kids to makes cookies with me, and then we have a tea party afterward. No disclosure on my age though :-).

I have not been on your blog in a while and to ight it seems I'm all over it! But I have to comment on the monster book. That is my favorite book ever. I bought it for my son and could not wait to read it to him. Then I did and he looked at me like I was crazy. He didn't get it! Then I reread it and realized I don't know if any small child would get it. I love it though and now am reading it to my youngest daughter.

I'm late to the party, but I had to comment. My 21 month old daughter loves Sesame Street. Until Mr. Noodle comes on. She slid down from her perch the other day with big tears welling up in her eyes because he'd come on. Heartbreaking, and hilarious.
